Interesting, how deep and pervasive symbolism can be:-

I've been reading the ever reliable Wikipedia :-) entries regarding the
Paschal Lamb, "Lamb of God", "Agnus Dei" the symbol appears to have
masonic connections as well as connections to jewish passover.

A google image search for "Paschal Lamb" shows many variations on the
theme, some are carrying a cross, some the St George banner.

My thanks to Ken for spotting and recognizing the significance of a very
interesting symbol.
